okay confirmed! the Brits don't know how the f*ck to make cars. I heard the jaguar cooling system is questionable. Plus 2 different jaguar owners/sellers keep calling me trying to coax me into buying 'em
yeah I'd like to learn what these 350 v8 engines are like. heard theres so many mods you can do to 'em its infinite. maybe they guzzle gas i don't know.
i looked at a '88 lincoln towncar today LOL the thing was HUGE! black flawless paint and started right up though sounded good. dude only wants $1k he's a mechanic but still the thing is practically a Limo! i passed
oh yeah i've been giving some volvos and saabs much consideration.

old jags are pieces of junk. the benz would be good, but if you have to fix anytthing dont expecty it to be cheap. go with the diesel if you can and convert it to a grease car. you can usually pic of the grease for free from local resteraunts who have to pay to get rid of it.
benz pretty much make only auto's. very few models come with standard on benz's. but their auto tranny's are rock solid and sealed for life.

I don't know about the caddy, is that one of the multiply displacement engines? if so, run as far away as possible.
Old Jaguars are good cars, just nobody wants to pay to maintain them, and those that do, don't sell them, as least not cheaply.
MB's are nice cars, I don't know of any manual trannies except for some 70's models. which you don't want, some have 0-60 times around 18+ secs.
Pre 1990 SAABs are nice if you like weird. Trust me on the weird thing, they are.
